Yesterday the Democrats of the
Third Legislative district named an
their standard bearer Martin C. Judge,
of Taylor. Their Fourth district breth
ren nominated M. F. Fudden, of Price
bur ir.
The Third district convention was
held in the St. Charles hotel In the af

The light was between Martin C.
Judge, of Taylor, and William P. Litts.
of Clurk's Summit. Judge controlled
the lower or mining part of the district
and Litis the funning territory. On
the vote for permanent chairman It
developed that the forces were evenly
divided. John J. Coyne, of Miuooku,
who was Judge's man, received sixteen
votes and K. II. Flsk, of Dalton, who
was partial to Litts, received the other
sixteen votes. The announcement of
the result was the signal for general
pandemonium,
"JIM" DUNN IN EVIDENCE.
Coyne claimed that the teller, Floyd
Y. Young, of South Ablngton, had not
kept a correct tally and claimed that
he was elected. Hig "Jim" Dunn from
Relli'Vlie Heights wanted to settle the
dllliculty nnd that only made matters
worse. He would not be quieted, de
claring Hint he had something to say
and was going to any It.
Someone crushed his hat down over
his eyes nnd pushed his cigar down
Into his throat. When he nnd coughed
out the cigar nnd righted his hat he be
came more obstreperous than ever de
claring that nny man that "wud do n
t'lng like that wud kick me dog." Then
Proprietor Mel v In tried to quiet him by
threatening to have him put out, but
he defied Mr. Melvin "or nny other
Corkonlan," ns he paid, to attempt It.
After every other means had faileu,
one of the spectators Invited Dunn to
visit the bar and by this ruse the con
vention wns rid of him.
During the tumult tho Lltts adher
ents moved that the temporary organi
zation made permanent by a Vive voce
vote, but Coyne interposed a kick anil
the motion was not put. Another bal
lot was agreed upon and Coyne was
chosen by a vote of 17 to 14 amidst
grent applause.
Frank Dorety, of Covington, and E.
H. Heed, of Glenburn, were chosen sec
retaries by acclamation. Chairman
Coyne then appointed Frank J. Dough
erty, George A. Summers nnd Luke No
lan as a committee on resolutions. Mr.
Dougherty wanted to decline on the
grounds that he wouldn't have time to
draft resolutions, but when Chairman
Coyne told him that tho resolutions
were "already prepared" he consented
to act.
HEADY MADE RESLUTIONS..
Here are the "resolutions":
The Democrats of the Third legislative
district of Lackawanna county In conven
tion ussemgled, desire to record their
fealty to tho principles of the Democrats
party as enunciated by the Chicago con
vention and pledge their united support
to the nominees, William Jennings Hryan,
of Nebraska, for president, nnd Arthur
Sewull, of Maine, for vice president.
We regard with displeasure the merclles.4
onslaught of vituperation heaped upon thj
farming and Industrial element of mir
nation by the Republican press in which
they are alluded to ns foes of the coun
try's welfare and call upon the voters of
our district who are distinctively of IliU
class to resent tho foul und slanderous
Imputations cast upon them by the car
toons of the Scranton Tribune and the in
vectives of the moneyed press at li.rg.
We denounce the pertldy nnd Jobbery
perpetrated on the citizens of this com
monwealth by the last legislature whle'i
was exclusively known for tho ease and
rapidity in which It created r.ew office
at large, salaries for spoilsmen and for
the reckless and extravagant manner In
which they despoiled the people's money,
and we hereby pledge the nomine? of this
convention, If elected, that his record will
be one of honor, unflinching duty to bis
constituents nnd perpetual guard over the
revenues of tho state, that they may bo
Judiciously expended.
Resolved, That the chairman of this con
vention and Its nominee shall select tho
representative standing committee.
Frank J. Dorerty,
George A. Summers,
L. F. Nolan.
Judge was placed In nomination by
Luke Nolan. Floyd U. Young did a Ilka
service for Lltts, declaring that It need
ed a man from over the mountain to
defeat Dr. Mackey. . Mr. Nolan also
said something about Judge's claim ami
qualities but his words were lost to
posterity foir Just as he began speaking
"Jim" Dunn reappeaired at the door of
the convention room and Insisting on
hotting that P. J. Huane, of the Sixth
ward, was elected delegate by Republi
can votes.
' Judge aecuretl the delegates from
Clifton, Covington, Gouldsboro, Lehigh,
Spring rook and Greenfield and these
with the delegates from Lackawanna
township and Taylor gave him IS votes.
Litts got all the delegates from over the
mountain and also one from Old Forge,
which gave him thirteen votes.
After the announcement of Judge's
selection there was a hurrah and after
making the election unanimous on a
close viva vote the convention
adjourned to the corridor to listen to
'"Jim" Dunn.
FADDEN NAMED IN THE FOURTH.
P. J. While Cries " Ingratitude" and
Withdraw in Favor of .Mct'ntfrey.
The Fourth, district convention also
had its sensational feature. There
were three candidates, M. F. Fadden,
of Prlceburg Frank J. McCaffrey, of
Maylield, and P. J. White, of Arch
bald. Just as the voting was about to begin
Professor White arose and withdrew
his name, clulining that a motion that
had Just prevailed, permitting but one
delegate from each ward of Archbald.
robbed him of a goodly part of his sup
port and made It Impossible for him to
expect to make a showing.
Then despite the cries of the Fadden
men. of "shut up," "put him out," and
the like, the doughty professor ar
raigned the Domoe-rntls party for In
gratitude in general and base Ingrati
tude in his particular case, he, accord

counted out of a senatorial nomination
and now driven out of the candidacy

ATTORNEY SMITH'S
PAPER BOOK READY
Is the Argument Tbat Will Be Made to
Supreme Court.
AGAIN ATTACKS THE LOWER, COURT.
History of the Case Rehashes the
Charge. .Hade at Various Times
BcforeIIe Furnished a Copy of It
to the Attorneys on the Other Side '
His Argument W ould Fill Twenty
Five Columns or a Newspaper.
Cornelius Smith haa filed the paper
book in the famous case which recent
ly disbarred him from the Lackawanna
county court.
On Mondny, June 1, Judge Edwards
handed down an opinion which was
concurred In by Judge Gunster, order
ing that Mr. Smith be removed from
his olfice as an attorney and his name
stricken from the rolls of the court.
Judge. Archbald on the same day wrote
a sustaining opinion, coinciding with
the action of the other Judges.
Mr. Smith, after a short lapse of time,
took an nnpeul to the supreme court,
and yesterday he placed In the hands
of the court's attorneys. City Solicitor
J. H. Torrey, E. C. Newcomb and S. H.
Price, copies of the paper book which
he will file in the supreme court, and
upon which the argument will be made.
The bc.ik was piepared by Mr. Smith
and Attorney A. H. McCullum, of
Montrose,
THOSE ACCl'SINO LETTERS.
In his paper book Mr. Smith starts
out by giving a copy of the rule en
tered auulnst him to show cause why
he should not be disbarred. This rule
was ordered by the court, because of
two letters which Mr. Smith wrote to
Judge Gunster, charging him with
handing down nn opinion In the libel
suit of Rurns vs. Smith, and taking
back the opinion nt the Instance of Mr.
Hums nnd Myron Kasxon.
In the second letter Mr. Smith
charged Judge Gunster with disposing
of the case and then taking It back and
turning it over to another judge. Judge
Gunster, prii.r to writing of the second
letter, told Mr. Smith that ho had not
done so, but Mr. Smith said ho had it
on the authority of persons present in
court; and he added that he did not
IhinU It was fair or just for the Judge
after once disposing of the case to take
back and turn It over to another Judge.
The first letter was written by Mr.
Smith on Dec. 31. lS!t, and the second
one cm March 13, 1SU8. Judge Archbald
appointed Attorneys Torr-y, Newcotnii
and Price counsel to proiiecute tho rule
ugiiinst Mr. Smith. April 27 last was
fixed ns the time to take testimony. The
case was not begun until the next day.
Attorney James Mahon conducted the
case with Mr. Smith.
On the morning of the 2Sth the for
mer presented to tho three Judges sit
ting to hear the testimony, nn apology
for the letters, and he also filed nn ap
plication to have the hearing trans
ferred to another cotyity. The apology
was received and placed on file, and tho
petition for a change of venue was re
fused. The hearing went on and ar
guments were made on both sides. Mr.
Smith made the closing argument In his
own defence, and was vehement and
eloquent in his style. On Juno 1 tho
opinion wns handed down disbarring
him. On July 8 he filed a writ of error
and took the case to the Supreme court.
ASSIGNMENTS OF ERROR.
The asssignments of error on which
Mr. Smith bases his appeal to tho Su
preme court specify that the lower court
erred In refusing his prayer for a change
of venue; that there was not sufficient
to constitute a cause of action against
him, because It was not alleged that he
did any act attended with fraud and
corruption; that he was not charged
with being convicted or guilty of an in
famous crime; that It was not alleged
that he was a person of general bad
character for integrity sue-h us show.)
him to be unsafe and unfit to be en
trusted with the powers of his profes
sion; that the court under the consti
tution and laws of tho commonwealth
had no jurisdlelon to try him for the
action set forth in tho rule. Mr. Smith
excepts to a great deal of the testimony
offered against him at the hearing, anil
he charges the court with error in ad
mitting it as evidence.
The history of the case as it appears
In the book Is merely a repetition of tho
charges he at one time or another lodged
against the court and certain officers of
It In confederating and contriving to
defeat the ends of Justice in the Jen
nings case.
Mr. Smith's argument, prepared by
himself and Attorney McCollum, Is a
most exhaustive one. It covers sixty
two book pages and would occupy about
twenty-five columns of a newspaper. He
says that an attorney is an oflicer con
cerning the public Justice and Is com
pelled to be an attorney for any man; by
his admission as such he acquires rights
of which he cannot be deprived nt the
discretion of a court any more than a
physician ran of the practice of his pro
fession, a mechanic In the exercise of
his trade, or a merehnnt of the pursuit
of his commercial avoe-ations.
MAGNA CIIARTA LAW.
Tho ofllco of nn attorney Is his prop
erty, and he cannot bo deprived of It,
unless by the Judgment of his peers, or
the law of the land. The words, "law
of the land," as they are used in Magna
Charra and In the constitution of Penn
sylvania mean, "due process of law and
Imply that in every judicial proceed
ing there shall be some form of legal
process; sufficient allegations or charge
on oath or aiilimation. due notice to the
parly proceeded against; the opportun
ity to answer to and contest the charge
or allegation; and to be heard or tried
in a regular or legal course of Julcial
proceedings by an Impartial Judge. And
these rights exist In all cases, civil or
crlmlr.lal, whether by the exercise of
the court's ordinary Jurisdiction with
trial by Jury, or by the exercise of the
discretionary or summary Jurisdiction
of a court without the right to trial by
Jury."
Mr. Smith quoted the law relating to
the power of ceurt3 to Issue attach
ments or Inilict summary punishments
for eontemr.t of court. The power of
the court is re'strlctcd by the following
cases: (1.) To the official misconduct
of the officers of such court; (2.) to the
disobedience or neglect by oflicers, par
ties, jurors or wltntsees of, or to the
lawful process of the court; (3.) to the
misbehavior of any person In the pres
ence of the court, thereby obstructing
the administration of Justice.
he punishmtnt of Imprlsonemtn for
contempt shall extend only to such as
shall be committed In open court, and
all other contempts shall be punishable
by fine only. No publication out of
court respecting the conduct of Judges,
officers of the court, jurors, witnesses,
or any of them, shall be construed Into
a contempt eo as to render the author,
printer, or publisher liable to audi-
ment or sumrrfary conviction for the
came,
COMPARED WITH LIBEL,
If any publication shall un properly
tend to bias the minds of the public or
of tho court or any of Its officers, tho
person who shall feel aggrieved agalnrt
the author, printer or publisher thereof
may proceed by indictment In a crimi
nal case or may bring an cation at law
to recover such damages as a jury may
think tit to award.
The book argues that there Is no fact
alleged In the pleadings against htm
to contribute an offence, or cause of
action; and the proceeding Is void on
the face of it for the reason that It pre
tends to proceed against the respond
ent for contempt of court, which is
strictly a criminal ofience, and the pro
ceeding is for unfitness to hold the of-fle-e
of attorney, which Is strictly a civil
action.
An a proceeding for contempt of
court. It is alleged that It is void in
not specifying that he misbehaved In
the presence of the court, thereby ob
structing the administration of justice.
And when he, by his answer and aiiolo
gy, disavowed any Intention to commit
a contempt, the court had no power to
proceed further In the cose. If It were
admitted, he said, that the letters In
question constitute acontempt of court,
and he maintains that they do not.
even then the penalty of disbarment
could not be Imposi-d on him.
As a proceeding to disbar It is argued
that It Is void for the further reason
that there were no allegations of of
ficial misconduct against him as an
oillcer of the court; or official miscon
duct attended with fraud nnd ceirrup
tlon, or the conviction of an infamous
crime, or n series of illsgtaeeful nets
resulting In general bad character for
Integrity.
The complaint against him was not
regular In that It was not made on
onth or affirmation, and It is also void
because the churge, If any, is not speci
fic, certain and circumstantial.
HIS PAST RECORD.
Mr. Smith complains that the judge
permitted the attorneys prosecuting
the rule. to eo outside the record and
travel over nearly the whole of his life
to prove whntever they thought would
prejudice the'ease against him. He de
clares that such was in violation of
law, nnd unfair because the court re
fused to permit him to give evidence
In rebuttal.
The pape-r book required great care
nnd labor In preparation and It has
been correctly termed, "the effort of
Mr. Smith's life."
WAS HE KIDNAPPED ?
